UGA beats #10 Ky.
UGA beats #10 Ky.
Prior to the LSU game, this was a post I made about the Houston game. I wasn't taking credit for being the "first" to speak of consistency, nor do I care if I was the last. I thought your post was hilarious as you made accusatory statements, slamming me, then attempted to make it all sweet and nice saying we can just "deal with each others opinions." As if we have any other choice? Really? You take all this that seriously? IT'S BASKETBALL.
Here is the third time I mentioned consistency, all three prior to the LSU game, just for the record. And now it is I who will "do my best" to move on.
The Techsters have some talent, not an overabundance, but they do have some talent. It's their bball IQ and passion to win that is sorely lacking.
All of that said, I'm not throwing in the towel. Seems to me there is potential for this team to rally and become a decent to good team. But it will be trial by fire. It's yet another rebuilding year. While that isn't fun for some of the fans, including me, ultimately it is the reality of a program relying on its past to regain current prominence. The Techsters need to reinvent themselves. This won't be a successful program while the focus is "reclaiming" their place among the elite. This will be a successful program once again when the players all buy into the fact that they must earn their place among the elite. Not many people outside of hardcore Techster fans care about the success in the 80's and some of the 90's. This isn't about sleeves vs. no sleeves. This isn't about catchy phrases like "the tradition returns." And this isn't about "Spoon and Company." This is about attitude. And the Techster games I've seen under Spoon's leadership are not consistent in attitude. There was NO attitude under Long, but at least that was consistent. If the attitude can develop alongside the talent these student athletes possess, then in my opinion it is possible for the program to be stronger than last season.
Just my buck-o-five.
I'm still glad we beat UGA! hehe
